Category: New Moon

It’s Chinese New Year today and a new Conjunction! The New Moon, Mars, and Venus shine in the Western Sky tonight. If not for my friend Andy I probably wouldn’t have remembered this! Check him out here. Thank you Andy!!!

I wasn’t able to venture further than my front yard to photograph it so, here you have it. Mars is the teenie tiny red dot between the Moon and Venus.

For those interested… The Year of the Sheep:
Chinese: 羊 yáng
Sheep (goat, or ram) is among the animals that people like most. It is gentle and calm. Since ancient times, people have learned to use its fleece to make writing brushes and skin to keep warm. The white cute creature often reminds people of beautiful things.
